      Verdict

      John Riches’ pair, Spoken Words and Trulove, were both due to run yesterday at Hamilton but would have been the outsiders in this in any case. I'll Be Good has shown little since the switch to Alan Berry but the remaining trip all have reasonable claims. LANDING NIGHT ran the prolific Tanasoq to less than a length at Thirsk three runs ago. He hasn’t quite run up to that form in subsequent outings but is worth another chance in this company being a previous course and distance winner like Kinloch Pride. Eternalist is closely matched with the selection on Ayr running so can’t be ignored under talented 5lb claimer Jamie Gormley.
